Easy Asian Grilled Drumsticks

Taken from RecipeZaar Posted by Kittencal. The sauce is sufficient for 10 drumsticks, but can easily be doubled.

Version: 2.0

Preparation time: 10 minutes + 8 hours marinade time.

Serves: 5 (2 pc each)

Cooking time: 35-45 minutes.

Equipment:

Mixing bowl and wire wisk

Measuring cups and spoons.

Cutting board and knife.

Barbecue or baking sheet lined with tinfoil.

Tongs.

Notes:This is a great recipe. I halved the amount of honey, and chili flakes and it was still good. I’ve removed the oil, salt, and lemon juice from the original recipe due to health concerns. This works well with legs with thighs, as well as drumsticks.Unless I’m barbecuing, I skin the legs before cooking, and divide the thigh from the leg at the joint before marinating. If using boneless, skinless chicken breasts – I suggest pan frying as the cooking time is very different.

This meal goes great with a large salad or a steamed vegetable side-dish.
